JOIN US FOR THE SOLAR ECLIPSE!!!
Calkins Nature Area will allow visitors to park their vehicles in the nature center parking lot during the solar eclipse on Monday, August 21st. Bring your lawn chairs and find a comfortable seat near your vehicles or out on our wide open prairie trails to enjoy this once in a lifetime event.
The schedule below shows that the eclipse will start around 11:30 am and end around 2:30 pm. We recommend coming a little bit early, just so you do not miss out on any of the action. Bathrooms and the nature center will be accessible to the public during this time.
Solar eclipses are also very bright. Blindingly bright, actually. You can purchase glasses at the link below. Thank you and we hope to see many of you out at the nature center for this rare event! For those not close to Calkins Nature Area, Sac and Fox Overlook just north of Steamboat Rock would also be a great place to watch the eclipse.
